In this podcast episode, the focus is on pathological narcissism and its clinical and forensic aspects. The disorder is characterized by excessive self-admiration, egocentrism, and a lack of empathy. It can have significant consequences in various contexts, including the legal system, due to difficulties in respecting rules and social norms. Signs of the disorder include a strong need for attention, a tendency to manipulate situations, and difficulty maintaining healthy relationships. To protect oneself from pathological narcissists, it is essential to maintain some emotional distance, recognize the signs of the disorder, and seek help if necessary. Cognitive-behavioral therapy and psychodynamic therapy are common therapeutic options for treating pathological narcissism. It is crucial to remember that healing requires long-term commitment, and each person with the disorder must undertake their own recovery journey. There are many resources available, such as mental health professionals and support groups, for those seeking help for themselves or a loved one affected by pathological narcissism. The disorder should not be ignored or minimized, and taking control of the situation and seeking help are fundamental steps towards ensuring one's health and happiness.
